- Broadcast radios are connected with a coaxial cable to at least one antenna but may be connected to more than one. These antennas convert the electromagnetic field from different broadcast stations into an electrical signal.
- the distance between the car and the broadcast stations can be relative large, perhaps on the order of many kilometers; however, the distance between the car communication antenna and one or more car broadcast antennas can be small, perhaps on the order of a few meters, and the communication systems may generate strong interference towards the broadcast receiver.
- a car shark fin antenna module may contain cellular communication functionality combined with active broadcast antenna functionality.
- the communication antennas are positioned in the shark fin together with active circuitry of the broadcast active antenna.
- More advanced shark fins may also contain the car2car communication antennas and electronics like the transceiver functionality.

- a communication system is a heterodyne broadcast radio receiver system.
- a system may include an antenna for receiving a first range of radio frequencies (RF), a band selector (BS), having a band pass filter covering a predetermined broadcast band (e.g. an FM band from 87.5 MHz to 108 MHz), a low noise amplifier (LNA), a mixer, a local oscillator and an intermediate frequency (IF) band pass filter.
- the IF filter includes suitable bandwidth for selecting various broadcast stations, and in one example may be about 250 KHz wide.
- an FM radio station transmits a first program at a certain channel frequency, for example at 97 MHz in the FM frequency band.
- Another radio station transmits a second program at another RF frequency, for example at 98 MHz, wherein both the first and second programs have a bandwidth of 220 KHz.
- the radio receiver uses an IF selectivity function, perhaps having an output bandwidth of 250 KHz, which is sufficient to include each program's 220 KHz bandwidth.
- the band selector (BS) components having a very high quality factors are required.
- the RF broadcast frequency is down-converted to a lower intermediate frequency (IF), such as 10.7 MHz, lower quality factor components may be used.
- IF intermediate frequency
- a mixer can be used together with a local RF oscillator signal generated within the receiver.
- the receiver can convert (i.e. tune) a range of RF broadcast frequencies to the same (or nearly the same) IF frequency.
- the local oscillator frequency can be set at either 107.7 MHz or 86.3 MHz, according to Equations 1 and 2.
- F intermediate
- F intermediate

- Local oscillator systems in various devices and at various frequencies can be degraded by interfering signals that have some sort of a frequency relation with the local oscillator signal (e.g. remote or local signals, in-band or signals, signals generated from a common power supply, etc.).
- a frequency relation with the local oscillator signal e.g. remote or local signals, in-band or signals, signals generated from a common power supply, etc.
- One example of degradation is spurious modulation of a local oscillator's output signal, causing spurious amplitude variations and/or frequency variations.
- a cellular system and an FM broadcast radio antenna are often in close proximity within a car.
- the cellular communications system operating according GSM900, would transmit at a frequency of 851.35 MHz, a very strong field in and near the car's FM broadcast radio antenna is generated.
- a field strength can be on the order of 30 Volts/meters or even higher.
- Such a strong electromagnetic field may influence the FM broadcast radio reception quality.
- a broadcast radio signal is decoupled from an interference signal which is somehow related to the local oscillator frequency by: monitoring a set of local oscillator performance parameters; comparing the performance parameters to a calibrated set of performance parameters; and changing the local oscillator frequency in a step-wise manner which still permits a desired channel (e.g. a broadcast radio station) to be processed by other devices and/or presented to a user;
- a desired channel e.g. a broadcast radio station
- Such an embodiment can reduce or practically eliminate electromagnetic and/or direct electrical coupling between an interference signal and the local oscillator, and will likely not introduce audible distortions when combined with an audio concealment algorithm.
- Such embodiments can be embedded in a car broadcast radio, another kind of receiver, transmitter or transceiver.
- FIG. 1 is an example frequency graph of a set interference signals 102 and corresponding local oscillator degradation 104 .
- the measurement shows the results of radio performance degradation due to a strong interference signal.
- Such audio degradation is in some examples due to interference with a communications device's local oscillator frequency when there is a harmonic relation between the interfering signal's frequency and the local oscillator's frequency.
- the broadcast radio's local oscillator frequency is at 94.6 MHz and if a GSM cellular device would be transmitting at 851.35 MHz, this would equal the 9 th harmonic of the radio's local oscillator frequency.
- FIG. 2 is an example data processing device 200 .
- the data processing device 200 includes a high frequency stage 202 , a high frequency band input 204 , a high frequency band output 206 , a local oscillator (LO) 208 , an LO frequency output 210 , an LO performance parameter output 212 , an LO frequency select input 214 , a mixer 216 , a degradation detection module 218 , a low frequency stage 220 , a low frequency band input 222 , and a channel output 224 .
- LO local oscillator
- the data processing device 200 in various example embodiments can be either: a receiver, a transmitter, a transceiver; a radio; a communications device; a phone; a cellular device; a WLAN device; a Bluetooth device; a CAR2CAR device; or a CAR2X device. Other embodiments of the data processing device 200 are also possible.
- the high frequency stage 202 receives a data channel at a high frequency from the high frequency band input 204 .
- the data channel at the high frequency is within an FM radio band, and the data channel includes a set of data channels (e.g. multiple broadcast stations).

- the high frequency stage 202 may also include various RF band select (BS) filters and a low noise amplifier (LNA) as shown in FIG. 2 .
- BS RF band select
- LNA low noise amplifier
- at least one of the RF band select filters has a center frequency of 98 MHz and a bandwidth (i.e. 21 MHz) covering the complete FM band, from 87 MHz to 108 MHz, and shown and later discussed in FIGS. 4A and 4B .
- the mixer 216 receives the high frequency data channel from the high frequency stage 202 and the LO frequency output 210 from the LO 208 . Using the LO 208 output frequency, the mixer 216 coverts the high frequency data channels to a set of low frequency data channels and presents them to the low frequency band input 222 of the low frequency stage 220 .
- high RF frequency data channels are converted to low intermediate frequency (IF) data channels (e.g. +/ ⁇ 0 Hz), such as when the data processing device 200 is a data receiver.
- IF intermediate frequency
- the data processing device 200 can be a transmitter or transceiver function.
- the low frequency stage 220 includes an IF band-pass filter 226 , a channel select filter 228 and an ADC. Any selected data channel from the set of high frequency data channels must, in one example, be within the IF band-pass filter 226 pass-band so as to be later presented at the low frequency stage 220 output 224 for later processing.
- a 3 MHz wide IF band-pass filter 226 is wide enough to select multiple broadcast stations within an FM band.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 show such an example IF pass-band, and are discussed below.
- the degradation detection module 218 receives a set of performance parameters from the LO 208 over the LO performance parameter output, and upon detection of a degraded LO condition (i.e. the device 200 is in an LO degraded state), sends a command over the LO frequency select input 214 to change the LO 208 frequency.
- the LO degraded state is entered when one or more signals on the LO performance parameter output is not within a predetermined range.
- the degradation detection module 218 ensures that any selected high frequency data channel from the high frequency stage 202 are still confined (e.g. still fall within) the IF band-pass filter's 226 pass-band, and thus can be further processed by the low frequency stage 220 and any subsequent circuitry. If a particular change in the LO 208 frequency would cause one or more of the selected high frequency data channels to fall outside of the IF band-pass filter's 226 pass-band, the degradation detection module 218 will select a different LO 208 frequency. Example routines for detecting and remediating LO 208 signal degradation are discussed in FIG. 3 .
- additional processing may include digitizing a set of the high frequency data channels with an analogue to digital converter (ADC) and selecting one of the channels using a narrower bandwidth channel select filter 228 .
- ADC analogue to digital converter
- the degradation detection module 218 can select just one of the FM band radio stations, using the narrower bandwidth channel select filter 228 , for further base-band processing and presentation to a user.
- FIG. 3 is an example local oscillator 208 and degradation detection module 218 within the data processing device 200 .
- the degradation detection module 218 includes a frequency lock detect (LD) module 302 , an amplitude detect (AD) module 304 , an LO frequency select module 306 , and a digital channel select module 308 .
- LD frequency lock detect
- AD amplitude detect
- LO LO frequency select
- digital channel select module 308 digital channel select
- the LO 208 includes a reference frequency (XTAL) 310 , a phase detector 312 low-pass filter 314 , a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) 316 , a divider 318 , and a buffer amplifier 320 .
- XTAL reference frequency
- VCO voltage controlled oscillator
- the local oscillator output frequency 210 is stabilized in a feedback system that consists of comparing the reference frequency 310 with the divided 318 frequency of the VCO 316 .
- the local oscillator's 208 VCO 316 signal is also buffered and amplified 320 and then presented at the output 210 which is sent to the mixer 216 .
- an LO 208 degraded state is indicated and the degradation detection module 218 commands the LO frequency select module 306 to tune the LO 208 to a new LO frequency.
- the frequency lock detect (LD) module 302 in the degradation detection module 218 , monitors the LO frequency monitoring signal 322 , on the LO performance parameter output 212 , and sets the LO unlocked state when a frequency on the LO frequency output 210 is not locked to a frequency from the LO frequency reference 310 circuit.
- the amplitude detect (AD) module 304 in the degradation detection module 218 , monitors the LO amplitude monitoring signal 324 , on the LO performance parameter output 212 , and sets an LO amplitude invalid state when an amplitude on the LO amplitude monitoring output 324 is not within a predetermined range.
- the LO degraded state is not set by the degradation detection module 218 until the amplitude variation exceeds a predetermined threshold.
- the threshold level is programmable and can be set for example 10% above the LO's 208 intrinsic amplitude modulation.
- the threshold level can be set during testing and tuning to maximize reliable operation of the data processing device 200 (e.g. a radio broadcast receiver).
- the threshold can be set based on a known isolation level between multiple antennas packaged together in a same antenna unit. The isolation between the antennas can be used to define the interference power. An external interference source strength/power exceeding the isolation level then defines an unacceptable degradation which sets the LO degraded state and triggers the degradation detection module 218 to change the LO 208 frequency.
- the degradation detection module 218 commands the LO frequency select module 306 to send a new frequency select signal to the LO frequency select input 214 of the LO 208 .
- the LO frequency select input 214 is connected to the divider 318 and thus can adjust the VCO 316 frequency sent to the phase detector 312 , which in turn alters the output frequency of the VCO 316 presented on the LO output 210 .
- the LO 208 frequency can be adjusted in a variety of ways. For example, by adjusting (e.g. increasing, decreasing, stepping, jumping to a pre-set, etc.) the local oscillator 208 frequency until the LO degradation is below a predetermined threshold. Then verifying that all selected high frequency data channels are still within the IF band-pass filter's 226 pass-band. If not, then iterating the adjusting and verifying until all of the selected high frequency data channels are within the IF band-pass filter's 226 pass-band.
- adjusting e.g. increasing, decreasing, stepping, jumping to a pre-set, etc.
- >IF pass band, then F_local_oscillator_new F_local_oscillator ⁇ 2 ⁇ STEP.
- This last step occurs if up-converting the selected channel by one STEP would place is outside of the IF selection filter band, thereby requiring that the selected channel be down-converted by at least two steps, thereby placing the LO frequency at least one STEP below its original frequency.
- FIGS. 4A and 4B are an example set of high frequency channels 402 received by the data processing device 200 .
- the set of high frequency channels 402 in this example, represent twelve FM band radio station channels having frequencies ranging from 97 MHz to 100 MHz, and labeled as channels A through L.
- Channel E is highlighted to indicate that channel E has been selected for further processing by the low frequency stage 220 and any subsequent base-band circuits.
- FIG. 5 is an example first set of down-converted channels 502 .
- the first set of down-converted channels 502 represent the set of high frequency channels 402 which have been down-converted by the mixer 216 to within a 3 MHz bandwidth of the band-pass filter 226 in the low frequency stage 220 .
- Channel E originally had an RF frequency of 98 MHz which after mixing with a 96 MHz LO 208 frequency is converted to an intermediate frequency of 2 MHz.
- FIG. 6 is an example second set of down-converted channels 602 .
- the second set of down-converted channels 602 is generated if the degradation detection module 218 determines that the LO 208 at 96 MHz is degraded. In response to the detected degradation, the degradation detection module 218 commands the LO 208 to change the LO frequency to 94.5 MHz.
- 94.5 MHz is the lowest LO 208 frequency allowable if Channel E has been selected, since a lower LO 208 frequency would place Channel E outside of the band-pass filter's 226 pass-band.
- Channel E can be mixed with frequencies within the range of 94.5 MHz to 97.5 MHz, just as long as Channel E is converted to a frequency which still falls within the band-pass filter's 226 pass-band.
- the second set of down-converted channels 602 includes a second set of twelve RF channel frequencies ranging from 95.25 MHz to 98.25 MHz, and labeled as channels T through E
- This second set of twelve RF channel frequencies includes channels A through E from the first set of down-converted channels 502 , and channels T through Z of the second set of RF channel frequencies down-converted to the intermediate frequencies and filtered.
- FIG. 7 is an example set of instructions for operating a data processing device 200 .
- the instructions 700 begin in block 702 , by monitoring a set of local oscillator (LO) performance parameters.
- LO local oscillator
- the instructions can be augmented with one or more of the following additional instructions blocks, presented in no particular order.
- monitoring includes monitoring an LO frequency; and wherein setting includes setting an LO frequency unlocked state when the LO frequency is not locked to an LO reference frequency.
- monitoring includes monitoring an LO amplitude; and wherein setting includes setting an LO amplitude invalid state when the LO amplitude is not within a predetermined range.
- adjusting includes at least one of: increasing, decreasing, stepping, and jumping to a pre-set frequency.
- the LO degraded state is set in response to at least one of: an interference signal external to the data processing device; an interference signal internal to the data processing device; a power supply signal; a broadcast radio signal; or a cellular phone signal.
- block 716 further including, receiving a set of high frequency data channels; receiving specific data channel selection from the set of channels; down-converting the high frequency data channels to intermediate frequencies (IF); filtering the intermediate frequency data channels to within an IF pass-band; and wherein adjusting includes, adjusting the local oscillator frequency until at least one of the LO performance parameters is within the predetermined range; checking if the specific data channel is within the IF pass-band; and repeating the adjusting and checking until the specific data channel is within the IF pass-band.
- IF intermediate frequencies
